The early stages of the battle

                     
                        Madith Woldpike becomes the first dwarf to be webbed 


  The snit named Greenleaf breaches the fortress of Mam Malduhr and cheers on                                                           its compatriots. 


The Wizard Tarn suspends the flow of time and proclaims, "Losing is fun".

Dwarven losses: Brusum Leadhand, Yather Dimmaker and Madith Woldpike
Snit losses: BossSnit, Bluee, Goldie and Magenta

Order of battle:  2 Dwarven pikes, 2 dwarven crossbows, 6 regular dwarven infantry
                          8 Snits and 1 Giant Spider   

The Wednesday Afternoon Retired Gamers (WARG) congratulates Tarn and Zach Adams on their very successful launch of the classic "Dwarf Fortress" on Steam.

May there always be more emergent narratives in gaming !!

  1. Wonderful! I have a bunch of those old Grenadier Snits. Would love to find blistered versions.

  2. Good luck, David, hard to find and very pricey when they do show up on Ebay in blistered versions.

    1. I'd guess as much. I think the bunch of loose ones I picked up were mislabelled or some such. Had them for years.

  4. Well, the Snits & Spider will next be taking on an Elven Haven as we work out the WARG skirmish rules.
